“No need to panic,” she said, opening a door that wasn't there before. Everyone just looked at her. “Just hurry up and leave already,” she said, already stressed out.Abraham walked along the hallway with long strides. He was so quick in wanting to catch Sheila in whatever she was doing. He has been suspecting her for a very long time. He walked past a waitress as he called her back.“Sheila Hockings, where is she? She told me she would be here since the food here is actually delicious. Is she here?” He asked as the waitress nodded.“You've come to the right place. She booked a room here just for herself,” the waitress said as Abraham became suspicious.“Was it only for her? Is there anyone with her?” He asked as the waitress nodded. Abraham smiled. “Could you please take me to see her?” He asked as she did as she was asked. Abraham opened the door without alerting her and was shocked to see her alone with Max who was standing so far from her.“What are you doing here?” Sheila asked,

“Duncan,” that was the only thing Keith said as Smart sighed. He didn't look angry anymore which confused Keith. “Didn't you look angry before?” He asked.“I was but I found out it was Duncan. I'm even surprised he came by. It was hard for her to get a hold of him. What did he do this time?” Smart asked.“You wouldn't believe it,” Camila said, helping Mrs Genevieve sit on the chair after calming her down.“Then tell me,” he said.“Your brother, which I'm still finding it hard to believe, is actually the one who has been supporting Sheila Hockings,” Camila said as Smart didn't look surprised at all. “Oh!” He exclaimed.“Oh? Is that the only thing you have to say?” Camila asked. “And why don't you look surprised?” She asked.“I am surprised he is dating Sheila Hockings but I've always known Duncan would marry someone who isn't afraid to stand up to my mum,” Smart said as Mrs Genevieve glared at him.“I will never let him marry that witch. It's going to be over my dead body,” Mrs Genevi

“How did you two meet?” Camila asked as Duncan smiled.“It's funny,” he said as he sighed.“You really love her, don't you?’ she asked as he nodded. Camila sighed hopefully. “There was no need to separate them. It would become a fruitless journey,” she thought as Keith appeared.“Get up. We're leaving,” Keith said, angrily.“What happened?” Camila asked, standing up.“I'll explain on the way,” Keith said as Duncan stood up, placing both hands in his pocket.Keith and Abraham stepped aside into a quieter corner. Abraham smirks, leaning in close, his voice low but laced with venom."Well, well. The comeback kid himself. I have to admit, I’m impressed by your resilience. But I’ll say it plainly, you’re making a mistake trying to rebuild. You should’ve stayed down when you had the chance." Abraham said as Keith smirked slightly."Funny, I didn’t think I needed anyone’s permission to keep moving forward. Certainly not yours. If this is why you called me over, then I must say you just waste

“There's no need for that. To be frank with you, I planned on keeping an eye on you but then I saw you with Duncan over here and I thought, anyone who's a friend of Duncan must be a good person,” Cole said, as both men looked at Duncan. Even Camila looked at him too and this made Keith curious on who Duncan really was. Duncan laughed, removing one hand from his pocket.“You flatter me, Wright. I'm still under you,” Duncan said, laughing as Cole joined him.“Nonsense. You are more than that. In fact, I have a lot to learn from you,” Cole said as Keith looked at Duncan.“Don't say that. Why don't I leave you with Thompson. I'm sure you have a lot to say to him. I have something important to handle,” Duncan said, walking away.“Do you have time because I would really get to know you,” Cole said as Keith looked at Camila and Cole noticed that. “I'm sorry if I didn't introduce myself to you. Who might you be?” Cole asked, taking Camila's hand and kissed the back of her hand. Camila smiled

“It may shock you but everything people think I own actually belongs to him,” Cole said, nodding towards Duncan. “I'm just helping him manage his business so no one knows,” Cole said as Keith was shocked.“What about you?” Keith asked, looking at Cole.“I have my business but it isn't in the country. I have businesses in other countries but Duncan had asked for my help or should I say he demanded it as debt I was supposed to repay to his late father,” Cole said and when Duncan heard it he scoffed.“You talk too much for an old man your age,” he said, walking out.“Don't pay attention to him. He's cranky just like his mother,” Cole said as Keith was speechless which made the man laugh. “I'm sure you've been shocked today,” Cole said as Keith agreed with the man.Camila sighs, removing her clothes.“The day started badly but I can say for sure that it ended well. I actually had great fun today,” she said, wiping off her makeup. “I can't believe I'm saying this but Sheila can be fun when

Keith and Camila waited for Duncan at the restaurant Smart reserved for them. “He's here,” Camila said, placing her hand on his lap. They both turned to see Duncan coming with Sheila. Camila began to get angry. She really wasn't happy to see her.“I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I was busy with something,” Duncan said, sitting down as Sheila joined him.“No problem,” Keith said, giving them a small smile.“Oh, we can clearly see what you were busy with,” Camila said but neither Duncan nor Sheila said anything to her which got her angry. She didn't like the feeling of being ignored. “Why is she here?” She asked as Duncan looked at her.“I can't remember having an appointment with you but here you are,” Duncan said, smiling at Camila before giving his attention to Keith. Sheila just gave Camila the sassy look. “Why did you call to meet up?” Duncan asked.“I want us to come up with a way to deal with Abraham once and for all. Camila is pregnant and I'm sure he's coming up with plans

While Camila began to show. Her stomach was getting bigger and she made sure that she never missed an appointment with her doctor. Sheila and Duncan were still meeting secretly. They were now investing in their relationship much to Mrs Genevieve's dismay. Although they were all enjoying their time, their guards were never down. They had not heard from Abraham but they knew this was just a calm before the storm. One of the days, Mrs Genevieve cooked dinner and invited her son's along with Keith and Camila but to her dismay, Duncan brought Sheila.“I thought Abraham was keeping an eye on you? How do you usually escape from his sight to do as you please?” Mrs Genevieve asked as Sheila smiled, sitting properly on the dining table.“That's why I'm smarter. I know my way around things. You don't need to care so much about me,” Sheila said, smiling which annoyed Mrs Genevieve more. Duncan sighed, tired of the constant quarrels between his girlfriend and his mother.“Please can we all be at p

“Someone needs to grow up. You're not always around and mum needs someone to be there for her although she never admits it but she misses you too,” Smart said as Duncan nodded.“Yeah, I know that. Only if she would just say so and stop pushing everyone away,” Duncan said as Smart smiled.“You're just like mum,” Smart said as Duncan scoffed.“She just wants to be controlling but I'm not like that and I can't have her doing that to me. Sheila has her flaws but she's good when you get to know her,” Duncan said, done with smoking.“I know that already. You wouldn't be hell-bent on being with her if she was evil,” Smart said as Duncan looked at his brother.“Go stay with mum although I won't be so sure she would need it since her other family are with her. I need to go,” Duncan said, patting Smart on his shoulder before leaving.“Where is he?” Mrs Genevieve asked immediately when Smart entered the room. Keith and Camila looked at him as he looked at them too before looking at his mother.“

"Abraham Corner, you are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the murder of Mrs. Genevieve. You are further sentenced to an additional 25 years for the murder of Adam Kurt and 15 years for the coercion and unlawful imprisonment of your employees. These sentences will run consecutively. May this serve as a reminder that no one is above the law." The courtroom erupted into noise as reporters shouting questions, spectators murmuring in shock, and some even clapping in approval. Keith turned to Camila, who sat in silent disbelief, her eyes welling with tears."It’s over. You’re free." Keith said softly as Camila looked at Evelyn, who stood tall and calm, a small but victorious smile on her face.The judge banged his gavel to restore order."Bailiff, escort the defendant out of the courtroom. Court is adjourned." The judge said as the bailiffs approached Abraham, he turned to Sheila, his face dark and menacing."You think you’ve won? This isn’t over."

"You’ll soon be free." He said as Camila nodded, her lips trembling as she smiled. Tears welled in her eyes, but she quickly brushed them away, determined to stay strong.Sheila walked to the center of the courtroom, holding a remote control for the court’s audiovisual system."Your Honor, with your permission, I would like to present a video to the court. Before I play it, I need to explain how I came into possession of this video." Sheila said to the judge. Mr. Nolan immediately rose to his feet."Objection, Your Honor. This is highly irregular. The prosecution cannot…" The judge held up a hand, cutting him off."Mr. Nolan, sit down. Ms. Hockings, you may proceed." The judge said firmly."Thank you, Your Honor." Sheila said, nodding as She turned to face the courtroom, her voice steady and commanding."This video was obtained during my investigation into Mr. Corner’s workplace. It was anonymously sent to me by an employee who could no longer remain silent. The footage, captured by a

"Overruled. Ms. Warren, proceed." The judge said firmly."Thank you, Mr. Wallace. No further questions." Sheila said, turning back to James. She called two more witnesses, each echoing similar stories of abuse, threats, and control. By the end, the jury looked visibly disturbed, and the courtroom buzzed with tension.Finally, Sheila took a deep breath and held up a document."Your Honor, I refer to Section 12.5 of the state constitution, which condemns any individual who uses power, intimidation, or violence to suppress others. Mr. Corner’s actions, as described by these witnesses, align perfectly with this behavior. This is not just a man who mistreats employees. This is a man capable of anything, including the crimes he’s charged with." She said as the courtroom erupted in whispers."What the actual hell! This man is a beast." Smart said, whispering loudly to Duncan."Focus, Smart. This is just the beginning. Let’s see how his lawyer responds." Duncan said, nodding grimly."Your Hon

"Your Honor, members of the jury, today we will uncover the truth about the heinous deaths of Mrs. Genevieve and Mr. Adam Kurt, the accused’s secretary. The evidence points clearly that Abraham Corner killed both of them . While Mr. Corner has denied any involvement, his actions, motives, and the surrounding circumstances tell a different story." She paused, turning slightly toward Abraham at the defense table. "Let’s begin by calling Mr. Corner to the witness stand.""Mr. Corner, please take the stand." The judge said as Abraham stood, his movements deliberate and unhurried. Dressed immaculately in a tailored suit, he exuded confidence as he made his way to the witness stand. His face was unreadable, a mask of composure.After being sworn in, he sat down, clasping his hands lightly on the armrest."Mr. Corner, let’s start with your relationship with Mrs. Genevieve. Were you friends? Business partners?" Ms Harding asked, approaching him with a calm but piercing intensity."Neither. We

Abraham's lawyer came to see him in prison with threatening news.“No one is on your side. They are all against you,” the lawyer said as Abraham clenched his fists.“Make sure you do everything in your power to get me out of here. I can't be here,” Abraham said as the lawyer nodded.“I'll do everything possible. We have a hearing tomorrow. We'll make sure you win the case,” the lawyer said as Abraham sighed.The next day, Sheila prepared for the initial hearing. She wasn't going to miss it for anything. She was going to follow everything so they don't end up losing. While she was preparing, she suddenly felt nauseous. She ran to the bathroom and threw up.“Are you okay? What's going on?” Duncan asked, going to her but she refused his help.“I'm fine. What are you doing here?” She asked him as he felt bad.“Just wanted to check up on you,” he said.“I'm fine,” she said, walking out.The courtroom is tense as Abraham was brought in. Dressed sharply, he carries an air of confidence des

They searched through drawers, cupboard for over an hour but still didn't get anything while Abraham was attending to his guests. Adam came forward to say something when the atmosphere changed. Abraham wondered what the problem was until he saw Adam. He clenched his jaw, getting angry.“I have something to discuss with you, sir,” he said as Abraham dragged him to a corner “Are you trying to get me angry?” Abraham asked.“Sir, I need to report something to you,” Adam said but Abraham wasn't having any of it.“Get out. Don't show your face till this is over. Don't you have any shame? Seriously, I'm already getting pissed,” Abraham said, walking away.“Guys, you need to get out of there. Abraham is coming your way,” Riley said as Smart ran out immediately. Keith found a secret room. Just as he was about to check it out, Duncan held him in his hand.“We need to leave now. Abraham is coming,” Duncan said as Keith nodded.“Okay. Let's go,” Keith said as they left. When Abraham came inside

“Are you boys ready?” Duncan asked, joining the team as Smart scoffed.“We're not boys. We're grown ass men. One of us has a child while you're still in a complicated relationship because you chose to while I'm just being myself,” Smart pointed out.“He is not in a complicated relationship. He just isn't into any relationship. I heard Sheila broke it off with him. She said she was no longer interested in his back and forth relationship,” Keith said as Smart laughed.“That serves him right,” Smart said as he and Keith fistbumbed.“Guys, I'm right here,” Duncan said, announcing his presence.“You are? We don't see you,” Smart said as Keith laughed while Duncan rolled his eyes.“Whatever. Everything is ready and planned out. We just have to enter his house without being noticed and get right back,” Duncan said as they nodded.“Then let's do this. Costumes check, the guys who would keep watch, check and what again?” Smart asked as Riley came in.“Your ears and eyes, check,” Riley said.“W

New evidence has surfaced, and it challenges everything we thought we knew about this case. Could it be that Camila Joffrey, accused of murder, has been wrongfully implicated? How is it that Mr. Corner’s secretary is now tied to the crime scene? Was this connection overlooked, or deliberately concealed? And what about Mr. Corner himself? Does he truly have no knowledge of this development, or is he feigning ignorance to sway public opinion in his favor? As the investigation continues, we are committed to uncovering the truth behind these mysteries. Stay with us as we dig deeper into this unfolding story. Reporting live, this is Nicki Samson.Keith turned off the television as he leaned on the table, folding his hands.“So, what next?” Smart asked.“We will investigate his office. Vincenzo and I,” Sheila said, resting her back on the chair. She could feel a headache coming and she felt like vomiting.“I want you three to do something for me,” she said as Duncan turned to her.“What is

"Yeah, I saw him leave too. He was driving really fast, and he didn’t seem like he was in a hurry to get anywhere. It was... suspicious." A neighbor said as whispers were heard."The court will now take a recess. We will reconvene at 3 o'clock to continue these proceedings. Please remember that all court rules and decorum remain in effect during this time. Court is adjourned." The judge said as he struck the gavel.The courtroom is tense, the murmur of the spectators subsiding as the defense lawyer Sheila Hockings, rises to her feet, ready to call the next witness. She gestures toward Adam, who was seated at the witness stand. Sheila moves forward, poised and determined, as the jury watches attentively.“Remind me why I love her again,” Duncan said as Smart looked at him.“I don't know. I think you don't know your problem,” Smart said. Duncan pretended like he didn't hear what his brother said."Mr. Daniels, you are aware that you have been linked to the victim, and to the crime scene
